Dear Chamberlain 
Your letter of the 10th duly received. 
Shark yon for the mosses which I was glad to get. 
If your plans material ized I suppose you are in Southington 
today. I hope it is warmer there than it is here. Have been 
out for a little walk to get the air and found an overcoat was the 
proper thing-and buttoned up too. 
we shall he gs±xglad to see you over Sunday, or longer if possible, 
any time you can get a chance to run down here. Just let us know 
a few days ahead of the time. 
Mr, Preston and Mr. Hope were very much pleased with the Pow T e 
Pond region. We were there a week tramping , collecting, studying 
specimens, going in swimming occasionally, and doing our best to 
enjoy the outijjg, and I think we succeeded very well. We visited 
Clear Pond, Jowett Pond, Brandy Pond, lean Pond, Young Pond, Carry 
Ponds, and for a final two day’s trip run up to Pleasant ^ond. 
At the latter place we went to the top of the Iforth Mountain, in to 
Dimmick Pomd in the gorge southwest of Moxie Mountain, besides explor 
a little around the Pond. By the way, I hope some day to tramp 
over this region again with you. That Dimmick Pond region is a 
mighty interesting looking one. It looks almost as if it would 
not be difficult to go up Moxie from this locality, yet one on 
never tell the going till he tries it. 
The two Jossclyn Soc Bulletins came OK. Many thanks. 
The Rowe Pond postal has not yet appeared. 
Cordially,
